YESTERDAY, AFTER RETURNING HOME, I TRIED TO OPEN THE TRUNK OF MY CRV. IT WOULD NOT RELEASE USING EITHER THE KEY-BASED UNLOCKING MECHANISM OR BY USING THE INTERIOR LOCKING SYSTEM. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT, REAR PASSENGER DOOR WAS ALSO UNABLE TO UNLOCK THROUGH ANY MEANS. THE TRUNK AND THE DOOR WERE, EFFECTIVELY, FROZEN IN PLACE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO HONDA SERVICE TODAY (RON TONKIN HONDA IN PORTLAND) AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE LEFT, REAR PASSENGER DOOR OR TRUNK THROUGH MANIPULATION OF THE VEHICLES COMPUTER. THIS WILL NECESSITATE THE REMOVAL, AND LIKELY BRAKING, OF THE DOOR'S PANEL, WHICH THEY ESTIMATED WILL COST OVER $1000, NOT COUNTING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DOORS ACTUATOR, WHICH IS WHAT HAS LIKELY FAILED. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THIS KIND OF FAILURE WOULD LEAD TO A SITUATION WHERE SOMEONE COULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR OR SOMEONE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ENTER THE CAR TO ASSIST AN INJURED PASSENGER. MY 3 YEAR OLD RIDES IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE EVERY DAY AND THIS SCENARIO IS TERRIFYING TO ME. BASED ON MY READING, I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE (INCLUDING A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT IN NEWARK, NJ), BUT NO RECALL OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ISSUED BY HONDA. I AM HOPEFUL THAT MY REPORTING THIS WILL RESULT IN AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM BY HONDA AND A RECALL OF THE PART AND REPLACEMENT WITH A PROVEN PART WHICH IS NOT VULNERABLE TO THE SAME KIND OF FAILURE. *TR

THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I GET IN MY CAR OR GET OUT OF MY CAR. I TRIED RE-PROGRAMMING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND THIS DID NOT WORK. I HAVE HAD MY KEYS LOCKED IN MY CAR AND HAD TO CALL A TOWING COMPANY TO COME UNLOCK THE CAR FOR ME. FINALLY AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF THIS HAPPENING, I GOT INTO MY CAR ON 08/14/2013 USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND ONCE MY LOCKS LOCKED UP AND I TRIED TO START MY CAR, THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT DOWN (LIGHTS, LOCKS, HORN, IGNITION, CAR ENGINE.)

AFTER UNLOCKING DOOR WITH SWITCH OR KEYFOB ALL DOORS WILL START TO LOCK THEMSELVES. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OUT. I'M CONCERNED THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AS THEY CAN'T GET OUT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER TESTED IT AND CONFIRMED THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH AND COULD BE A SHORT IN THE MICU MULTI-PLEX BODY CONTROL UNIT. FIRST RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE MASTER WINDOW SWITCH ($400) AND THEN THE OTHER PART IF THAT DOESN'T WORK. *TR

THE LOCKS ARE ACTING WEIRD. THE CAR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. AS SOON AS I GET IN THE DOORS LOCK AND THE SAME WHEN I GET OUT. WHEN I NEED TO GET IN THE CAR I NEED TO USE THE KEY FOB AND IT UNLOCKS FOR JUST A SECOND THE LOCKS AGAIN QUICKLY. VERY ANNOYING! I FEAR THE LOCKS WILL MALFUNCTION MORE AND MORE AS TIME PASSES. TODAY THE ALARM WENT ON AND I HAD TO START THE CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND BACK IN DRIVE THEN IN PARK AND THEN OFF TO END THE ALARM. *TR
